I recently revisited a project I developed in the past using SpryMedia's DataTables Table plug-in for jQuery. The customer wanted some
customizations to their drop-down select menus dynamically created by the plug-in. One was to have the days of the week in the drop-down listed in order. The other was having
data, which included linked and unlinked text to display in alphabetical order instead of the randomly created order set up by the plug-in. Well, I made a hybrid customization for the manual part that uses both my own code and the plug-in. And I made a second customization for alphabetizing the mixed content (linked and unlinked text) using my own code. See the implementation below.
